I wake up every morning and shake quite violently for 10 - 20 seconds. This has been going for a couple of years. I also have a mild hand tremour which I’ve had for several years which I put down to ‘too much computer keyboarding’! I’ve seen a consultant at NNNH who says that I have mild PD sysmptoms but has not come across anyone with PD having these violent shakes. I asked for some medicatiion as a ‘trial’ and have used RASAGILINE for some months but it has not done anything. I’m incline to the view that the shaking is due to something other than PD. I would appreciate any thoughts.

I have the same symptoms but I definitely have PD. I have had PD for 7 years since diagnosis but this is a recent new symptom. I haven’t talked to my consultant about it (meant to but forgot). I will post if I get any more info.
